An investigation into the circumstances surrounding the torpedoing of the RMS Lusitania, then the world's fastest liner, by the German submarine U-20 in May 1915 with the tragic loss of 1,198 lives. The author unravels a catalogue of lies, deceit and cover-ups to reveal what caused the second mystery explosion, the exact nature of its munitions cargo and the sinister role played by British Intelligence.
'Remarkable, sets a new standard for maritime books. The author is a scrupulous researcher and most readable writer and found solutions for mysteries constantly evoked when Lusitania's fate is discussed' - Dr John de Courcy Ireland.
